"The prognosis of HIV/AIDS normally indicates the possible consequences of HIV/AIDS. The prognosis of HIV/AIDS may involve the facts with regard to the duration of HIV/AIDS, possibilities of complications of HIV/AIDS, possible results, and potentialities for recovery, recovery duration for HIV/AIDS, survival rates, death rates, and other resulting probabilities in the total prognosis of HIV/AIDS. The prognosis for individuals with AIDS in the present years has improved considerably during the last few years with the development of new drugs and treatments, and educational and preventive activities. The average life years lost from HIV/AIDS have been estimated to be about 35.7 years and this is about 37.9 in North Carolina.
